It is hard to experience the politics of the USA without getting a sense of whiplash. So far we’ve offered a claim on the Panama Canal, Canada, Greenland, and Gaza. That last one caught me off guard a little. Gaza?! Why would we assume the world would accept us just snatching up Gaza–or anything else for that matter. I am beginning to fear that all of this craziness is being done on a whim or worse, masking a real motive and opportunity. We know we’ve deployed troops to the border and discussed using special forces to go after the drug trade. If we begin to normalize the other crazy then this will be entirely acceptable in a country where crazy is slowly becoming commonplace.
We are in for a tough few years and a tougher fallout coming out of them.
Some Thoughts:
- Been playing Dragons Dogma 2 again. It’s okay. I’m having fun. Been a while since a game has been fun.
- Been having fun watching Shangri-la Frontier as well. It is enjoyable. When did I start worrying about something being “good” vs enjoyable?
- Also, the Raspberry Racers caught their first medal in the All Stars! They aren’t really in contention to win the thing, but a good showing in the next two could move them from 10 to top 5.
